UNSPSC 31121115: Brass die machined castings

UNSPSC 31121115 Brass die machined castings is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure water utility infrastructure components, specifically pipe repair clamps and curb box assemblies for municipal water systems. The recent solicitations show procurement of stainless steel pipe repair clamps in sizes ranging from 4" to 12" and cast iron curb box assemblies with brass hardware and associated components like dust caps, extensions, lids, and repair sections. These are replacement and maintenance items used to repair water mains and service connections, sourced from established manufacturers such as Smith-Blair, Mueller, ROMAC, Ford, Cascade, Hymax, A.Y. McDonald, and JCM for clamps and Bingham & Taylor for curb boxes. Water utilities are the primary issuing bodies, transacting through municipal purchasing departments on behalf of dedicated water authorities.

The City of Madison, Wisconsin Finance Department's Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Madison Water Utility, posted two RFQs in early March 2026 — one for 175 pipe repair clamps across eleven line items due March 17, 2026, and another for 150 curb box assemblies with related components due the same date. Both solicitations emphasize delivered pricing on FOB Madison terms to the utility's Paterson Street address, firm quotes for one year, and evaluation criteria including cost, quality, warranty, delivery timeframe, and past performance. The City extends a local vendor preference to registered local suppliers but does not impose set-aside restrictions. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent opportunity record, and no budget values or award amounts are disclosed.
